Each person is different. Various factors can determine the amount of irritation and the caustic effect on the esophageal lining including acidity of the reflux, the overall health of the patient and other risk factors such as smoking, dental hygiene and hydration status. Make sure you maintain your weight at a healthy level, drink lots of fluids and control reflux according to Dr instructions.
